There's an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen."

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen."

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word.

Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your wife fell three times this week."

Your Duck is Dead

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.
As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and
listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm
sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.
"How can you be so sure ?" she protested. " I mean you haven't done any
testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room.

He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever.
As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind
legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck
from top to bottom.
He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.

A few minutes later he returned with a cat.
The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from
head to foot.
The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and
strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is
most definitely, 100 % certifiably, and 100% certainty a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a
bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill.

"$150!" she cried, " $ 150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet shrugged,"I'm sorry....if you had just taken my word for it, the
bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report, and the Cat Scan,
it's now $150."_________________A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.

There are two statues in a park;
One of a nude man and one of a nude woman.
They had been facing each other across a path way for a hundred years, when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single
gesture, brings the two to life.
The angel tells them, 'As a reward for being so patient through a hundred blazing summers and dismal winters, you have been given life for
thirty minutes to do what you've wished to do the most.'
He looks at her, she looks at him, and they go running behind the shrubbery.
The angel waits patiently as the bushes rustle and giggling ensues. After fifteen minutes, the two return, out of breath and laughing.
The angel tells them, 'Um, you have fifteen minutes left, would you care to do it again?'
He asks her 'Shall we?'
She eagerly replies, 'Oh, yes, let's!
But let's change positions. This time, I'll hold the pigeon down and you poop on its head.'.!!

AND WHAT WERE YOU THINKING.?..._________________A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.

A recent article in the Dominion Post reported that a woman, Anne Maynard,has sued Wellington Hospital , saying that after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.

A hospital spokesman replied: "Mr. Maynard was admitted for cataract surgery. All we did was correct his eyesight!_________________A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.

The woman says, "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every day my husband
seems to lose his temper for no reason. It scares me."

The doctor says, "I have a cure for that. When it seems that your husband is
getting angry, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your
mouth. Just swish and swish, but don't swallow it until he either he leaves
the room or calms down."

Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor, looking fresh and
reborn.

The woman says, "Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband
started losing it, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he
calmed right down! How does a glass of water do that?"

The doctor says, "The water itself does nothing. It's keeping your mouth
shut that does the trick."_________________A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.
